okay the person that said that below. is right but ill explain.

chloroplast produces food for the plant

and

mitochondria makes the energy for the plant.

if the plant didnt have one of these then it wouldn't survive.

other persons response V (the "V" is an arrow)because they need it for dif reasons.

Animal cells have mitochondria and not chloroplasts because chloroplasts are a vital piece of the cell that plants need. It gives them their green color. They help the plant absorb sunlight to make food. You wouldn't like it very much if your hamburger was green, right?

Why do animal cells not have chloraplast?

Chloroplasts (as well as Mitochondria) are endosymbionts. This means that they are cells, living within another cell. Historically, eukaryotic cells had no mitochondria or chloroplasts (and mitochondria and chloroplasts existed by themselves outside of cells). The current hypothesis is that a cell tried to engulf a mitochondria (by phagocytosis) but failed in digesting it. Over time, some of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) became part of the host cell's genome. This cell is a common ancestor to both plants and animals, which is why both have mitochondria. A cell with mitochondria then did the same thing with chloroplasts, absorbing one, and taking some of its ctDNA etc. Because not all cells that had mitochondria absorbed chloroplasts there were cells with mitochondria only, and cells with mitochondria and chloroplasts. The ones with chloroplasts evolved to become plant cells, and those without evolved to become animal cells.


What is the organelle responsible for energy production?

Mitochondria-- animal cells; chloroplasts-- plant cells
